Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved handling device for driving, immersing/removing and rotating motor vehicle, truck cabin, van and metal article vessel bodyworks into/from processing basins.
- the device according to the invention has been specifically designed, in particular, for driving motor vehicle bodyworks, for subjecting said motor vehicle bodyworks to any desired processing operations.
- each bodywork including a related handling skid, must be loaded on the so-called “arch” assemblies on roller tables, to be coupled to a swinging table of the processing device.
- the latter can be driven by a driving chain, provided with a plurality of latching assemblies distributed with a desired pitch along the driving chain.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide such a handling device which is adapted to immerse, rotate and withdraw the motor vehicle bodyworks into/from their processing basins.
- the motor vehicle bodyworks are either partially or fully rotated to allow any air bubbles present in the motor vehicle bodyworks immersed in the processing basins, to be removed therefrom.
- the inventive device moreover, allows to perform a lot of other processing operations, such as sealing, masking operations, as well as PVC layer applying operations.
- the above mentioned operating steps are carried out at outer stations, that is outside the processing basins, to allow several operators, arranged on an underlying bearing platform, to operate at an ergonomic position, that is at a proper height and width and proper inclination.
- the device must be specifically adapted to lower to a proper level the bodywork bearing arms.
- the device must also allow to properly vertically arrange the motor vehicle bodyworks, to reduce the accumulating pitch thereof.
- an improved handling device for driving, immersing/removing and rotating motor vehicle, truck cabin, van and metal article vessel bodyworks into/from processing basins, characterized in that said device comprises a sliding frame, adapted to slide on sliding rails, said sliding frame being driven either by one or two driving chains, and supporting a pair of arms bearing, at a free end portion thereof, a swinging platform bearing a motor vehicle bodywork supporting skid, said sliding frame comprising one or two winch assemblies operating respective pulleys for entraining thereon ropes, belts, chains or the like and being associated with a respective arm at a swinging shaft therefor, said sliding frame further comprising two racks therealong slide end portions of the respective arms coupled to said frame, said swinging platform being rotatively driven by a chain driving system.
- FIG. 1 is an elevation view of the improved handling device according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the improved handling device according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a front view of the improved handling device according to the present invention.
- the improved handling device which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1 , comprises wheels 22 , preferably of a double-wheel type, sliding on guides or rails having an anti-tilting type of contour 2 , applied to the support 3 of the rails 4 .
- the rail support 3 comprises moreover a walking-on step 33 for aiding an operator to project himself to the processing basin.
- the above mentioned wheels 22 support a U-shape frame 5 in turn supporting two rack assemblies 6 and one or two winch assemblies 7 , being driven by a motor geared unit 37 through a driving shaft 38 .
- Said winch assemblies 7 by properly rotatively driving belt or rope elements are thus adapted to rotatively drive the corresponding pulleys 8 , thereon are entrained suitable ropes, chains or preferably belts 9 , for raising a pair of arms or arch assemblies 10 .
- Said arch assemblies 10 at a top end portion thereof, are adapted to horizontally slide on the rack assemblies 6 , to provide a reciprocating rectilinear movement.
- said arch assemblies 10 are associated to a rotary axis 17 , supporting, at its end portions, sliding wheels 18 , engaged in respective top sliding guides 19 .
- gear wheels 20 for engaging the respective rack assemblies 6 are provided.
- said arch assemblies 10 further support, at the attachment of the belts 9 , a rotary shaft 11 , coupled to a swinging platform 32 , which can rotate through variable rotary angles, due to the rotary movement transmitted to the shaft 11 by a pair of gear wheels or ring gears 12 , one for each end portion of said shaft 11 .
- Each said gear wheel 12 is driven by a respective driving chain 13 , which is controlled by a controlling pinion 14 .
- the two pinions 14 are keyed on a transmission or driving shaft 16 , which is in turn driven by a motor geared unit 15 .
- a supporting skid 21 which supports a motor vehicle bodywork 30 to be processed in the processing basin 31 .
- the shaft of the swinging platform 32 is rotatively driven by the transmission of driving system comprising the double chain transmission 13 , and the motor geared unit 15 .
- the bodywork 30 can be arranged with a vertical arrangement, and it may also be arranged in a tilted orientation.
- the device according to the present invention has a very small height.
- the chain transmission or drive for rotatively driving the shaft of the swinging platform is very reliable and of long duration, and can be easily serviced.
- the invention has provided a device for handling bodyworks 30 of motor vehicles, vans, truck cabs and metal article vessels, which can be easily serviced and operates in a very reliable and functional manner.
- the device according to the present invention allows to greatly reduce the space occupied by the bodyworks 30 , both during the handling or driving operation proper and during the immersion operating step.
- skid and related bodywork assembly as shown in the bottom part of FIG. 1 , can be loaded or unloaded onto/from the swinging platform 32 from this position.
- the inventive device will operate as a lowering device for delivering the fully processed bodyworks.
- the used materials, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
